BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1983

“Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye” is a song written and recorded by Paul Leka, Gary DeCarlo and Dale Frashuer, attributed to a then-fictitious band they named “Steam”.

In February 1983, UK girl group Bananarama released the song as the fifth single off their album Deep Sea Skiving. This version became a top ten hit in the United Kingdom (#5), but only a minor hit in the US (Billboard #101) later that year. In a sketch on the early 1980s comedy show Three of a Kind, Tracey Ullman spoofed Bananarama singing “Na Na Hey Hey” (as well as “Shy Boy”), with the words “We are nanas”.
